contents Context. Latest papers on the rotation curve of the Milky Way galaxy, i. e. Ou et al. (2024); Jiao et al. (2023); Sylos Labini et al. (2023) suggest a Keplerian decrease in the rotation curve. This behavior is not consistent with other spiral galaxies (Lelli et al. 2016; Mistele et al. 2024). Aims. Show that the prior use of the axisymmetric Jeans equation is not consistent with the final model produced in the papers. Methods. Comparison of the results on gravitational potential in Ou et al. (2024); Jiao et al. (2023); Sylos Labini et al. (2023) with the prior assumptions about the axisymemtric properties of the Milky Way galaxy. Results. The gravitational potentials published by Ou et al. (2024); Jiao et al. (2023); Sylos Labini et al. (2023) lead to almost spherically symmetric properties of the Milky Way galaxy at Galactocentric radii above 20 kpc, which is not consistent with the use of axisymmetric Jeans equations.
